Gifts - Poetry by Cherie


A man whose heart spins in his head
Without control and without dread
A man of privacy a man of passion
Someone you want to meet when he's perfecting his fashion

To walk one day in his shoes
Experiencing the height and depths of his blues
Walk beside him for a few steps
Breathe in his philosophies and have to catch my own breaths

Understanding the man I think I see
To discover he has been hiding so much from me
Behold the butterfly casting away from the cocoon
Watch a beautiful creature dance, moan and swoon

Sweeping through the warm spring air
Catching each breeze and so unaware
Flying freely with a heart ransomed but never lost
Believing this truly is life redeemed beyond any cost

The man is stronger than ever before
Reached out beyond his hopes and beyond his front door
Never expecting the gifts he would receive
Deep love walked in and a friendship that never will leave.

~ Cherie Lee
